Scintillators generate scintillation photons when exposed to radiation (such as X-rays, gamma rays, etc.). Scintillator array light guides use the total reflection principle of light to collect these scintillation photons and guide them along a specific path to the photodetector. For example, the refractive index of the light guide material is usually designed to be higher than the surrounding medium, so that when light propagates inside the light guide, it is totally reflected at the interface between the light guide and the surrounding medium, thereby confining the light inside the light guide, reducing light scattering and loss, and achieving efficient light transmission.
